Set in a futuristic world, Omega Five is a shooter that pushes the visuals to the limit for a digital download game.

Omega Five also includes a 2-player local co-op function in which a friend can join in on the aerial mayhem.

The gameplay follows the tradition of past side-scrolling shooters: as the screen scrolls from right to left, you move your character in two dimensions, either shooting or dodging enemies and their attacks. As you proceed, you can collect both weapon upgrades for your normal attacks and “chips” to power-up your special attacks.

Sensei is the wisest member of Omega Five’s group of heroes, and as an unlockable character, one of the more difficult to find. A master of the katana, Sensei needs no guns. He brings with him another of the galaxy’s best warriors, his dog “Rikimaru”, to help him defeat foes.

Primary Attack – Sensei’s most trusted weapon is his katana. His main attack is always with this sword and any weapon upgrades he picks up not only increase his sword’s range, but also change his alternate attacks. Sensei’s weapon mastery allows him to use his sword to destroy some enemy fire and even perform a spin attack that damages surrounding enemies.

Alternate Attack - Rikimaru plays a key role in his alternate attacks, as the dog leaps from Sensei’s feet to place targets on enemies. Once targeted, Sensei locks onto enemies and throws deadly projectiles at them.

Dimensional Field – Like the other characters, Sensei can quickly teleport to another dimension for a brief time, allowing him to avoid enemy attacks, though at the expense of a small amount of life. However, when Sensei uses the field, he also inflicts damage on enemies caught in the dimensional shockwave.

Ultimate Burst – All characters can unleash an enormously destructive nuke-like attack, after having collected at least 100 p-chips (the pink triangles that appear after defeating enemies) to fill one p-jail (the golden triangles at the bottom left of the screen).
